Our Level 1 Award in Jewellery Making course has been running for 4 weeks now and our Trainess are really getting into the swing of designing their own items.
This course is designed to act as an introduction to jewellery making. It focuses on component jewellery design and explores ways to make jewellery from sustainable and non-precious materials.
During the first few weeks students have been experimenting with making brooches out of bottle tops and bracelets out of 2pence pieces!
The creativity of the group is astounding and everyone is bouncing ideas off each other.
Next week they are going to visit Jonathan Swann' workshop in Lewes which is:
"An ever changing rather jolly collection of modern jewellery, with an emphasis on English designers and trying not to be too dammed expensive", according to its proprieter Jonathan
